+# This eclass is no longer useful. Most of it has been superseded by
+# new EAPI features such as REQUIRED_USE and USE dependencies.
+# The remaining functions are very specialized (probably to PHP)
+# and were not used for a long time. The last consumer is now redundant
+# to a new stable version and will be removed soon.
+# The eclass will be removed in 30 days.
